To be honest I haven’t had the need or the time to delve that deeply into how Timeshift works sorry.
You should be able to highlight the ones that you want to remove then click on the delete button.
From what I understand is that each backup is just the difference between the original backup and the current system.
Have a look at XNview MP
I can definitely say that it is avery good photo management program.
I am only using about 20% of it’s features and it is my go to image software.
It’s not so much both computers being able to access it.
From what I have experienced Timeshift tends to lock a drive when it is doing a backup.
If computer 1 is doing a backup and computer 2 tries to start it’s backup it may fail without you noticing.
Giving each computer their own partition on the drive should alleviate the problem.
